Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SW-WSW Wind Stength: F4 Surf / Sea State: small ramps Air Temperature: ok Sea Temperature: ok Weather: overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Back in after very late session at Shoreham. Arrived at beach at 7:45,
rigged and on sea by 8pm. 5.9m North Disco and JP freestyle 100lt.
Comfortable planing from start to finish. Sailed almost 2 hours non stop.
Packed up after 9:45pm. And the wind was still blowing nicely, could have
pushed on, but had other things to do, as well as a concerned family back
home!. It was better than Saturday, not least because it was mostly a solo
mission, just me messing around. Wind was ample and side shore, but best
of all, the ramps were much more frequent, sized 1-2 feet. For vulcan
practise on the way out, you could guarantee a steep face somewhere, but
not so large that you would bottle it. Just 6" was enough to boost the pop
a bit. Had some quality full planing body drags and several beautiful new
skool old school aeriel gybes. The freestyle board just flicks round in a
little nose first jump, sweet as. A few little wave rides, tail sliding,
spin gybes, snap gybes, carve gybes, duck gybes. What a session, its my
first proper go in the light winds with the summer set up. Water was warm,
air temperature ideal, it bodes well for a summer of freestyle. Bring it
on.
